In Acts 21:11-14 we can see the situation Paul has. I think we can grasp the reality of the situation in Jerusalem in this section. Paul is not stupid, he is not away fromt the spirit's focus. God I believe has revealed to Paul that these things were not going to be easy when he got to Jerusalem. We see Paul in verse 13 in a new light almost in an outroar for his situation. He understood the persecuation that awaited him in Jerusalem, and he was willing. The question I wonder is, is that what he wanted. He goes on the basically put himself out in front of the Jews to be persecuted inadvertly. To me this is a wonderful demonstration of God's will being done. Verse 14 is the approval of that. That stoic philosophy is seen here, God's will is God's will and there is nothing we should do to try to persuade other wise.
Jacob
